How come Native Americans don't come accross as pissed off as blacks?
I would think the Native Americans have a right to be really, really pissed off.
The blacks had it easy compared to what our forefathers did to the Natives.
I'm just curious. From what I have seen, the Native Americans seem pretty laid back about everything. I'm probabally just an idiot.

This is a ridiculous post, but I'll try to answer you anyway.

The vast majority of Native Americans were killed, so there aren't as many to raise a hub-bub.

Secondly, The question of "degree" of how much someone was wronged is silly, but if you want to go down that road...carted across the ocean on slave ships where many died, treated like farm animals, then discriminated against for another 100 years after you've been "freed" form the stockade..vs having been invaded conquered and decimated by foreign hordes, then treated like non-humans. Six of one, half dozen of the other, ya know.

I am pro Freedom of Speech. I think the Nazis have the right to make idiots of themselves as much as anyone else does.

Where is it? Does anyone have a link? I live in Lindy and have seen some wacky signs/stickers on trucks lately.

YOU KEEP THE CHANGE, I'LL KEEP ALL MY GUNS, GOOD LUCK. It disturbed me more that it was on a hand scrawled sign next to confederate sticker...

To equate this with Nazis' rights to express themselves -- all in the name of freedom of speech -- reveals ignorance and arrogance and a willful invalidation of history and what is morally right.

Interesting post. So the black churches have a valid reason to be angry towards "Whites".
My family never enslaved blacks. My Great Grandparents came here from Ireland and now defunct countries that were invaded by the Soviet Union.
So "Blacks" are angry at me? Why?
I think your problem is you are a racist. Only a racist would be angry at an entire race of people for the actions of a few. Kind of like those Nazi folks you are referring to.
But like you said, we can't be too quick to judge each other. Unless they are "White", huh?
Unfortunately, those Nazi guys do have the same right to free speech as those Black Churches. It's kinda in the Constitution and everything.

It's silly to think one had it harder than the other. Kind of like going to the hospital and thinking the guy with a metal rod sticking through his head is somehow better/worse off than the guy with the LONGER metal rod sticking through his head!

My post was sarcasm. I find that people of all colors are nuts.
I don't think any one is any different than the other mentally.
The human race are all a bunch of lunatics.
Myself included.
